Two spicy salsas from one healthy Crystal Andrus

It’s no surprise that I’m a huge advocate of eating your veggies. Most of the “Green Light Carbohydrates” I list in my book, Simply… Woman! come from the fruit and vegetable categories. Not only are the ingredients in these two salsa recipes one hundred percent green light approved, but they are also over-the-moon delicious!

This is not for squandering on salty corn chips!  Try adding salsa as a dressing to a salad, or to scrambled eggs, on baked chicken breasts or just dip your other green light veggies right in. Enjoy!

 

Ingredients

Jalapeno Salsa

1 onion, finely chopped

2-3 garlic cloves, finely chopped

4-6 tbsp coarsely chopped pickled jalapeno chiles

juice of 1/2 lemon

1/4 tsp ground cumin

sea salt

 

Salsa Cruda

6-8 ripe tomatoes, finely chopped

1/2 cup of tomato juice

3-4 garlic cloves finely chopped

1/2 – 1 bunch of fresh cilantro leaves, coarsely chopped

pinch of sugar

3-4 fresh green chiles, deseeded and finely chopped

1/2 – 1 tsp ground cumin

3-4 scallions, finely chopped

sea salt

To make the jalapeno salsa, put the onion in a bowl with the garlic, jalapenos, lemon juice and cumin. Season to taste with salt and stir together. Cover with plastic wrap chill in the refrigerator until required.

To make a chunky textured salsa cruda, stir in all the ingredients together in a bowl and season with salt to taste. Cover with plastic wrap and chill in the refrigerator until required.

To make a smoother textured salsa, process the ingredients in a blender or food processor. Scrape into a bowl, cover and chill as above.

(serves 4-6)
